Tasting Notes

Colour

dark straw

air Nose

very peaty but rather simple. Lots of smoke but also lots of grainy notes. Notes of apple juice. Quite nice but lacking complexity

restaurant Palate

bold and extremely powerful, extremely peaty and extremely sweet. But again, not extremely complex. A bit too sweet for my tastes, in fact. I think Ardbeg needs more ageing. Now, it’s not bad at all, of course: 82 points (but I know some other Maniacs who rated it up to 93 points) CRAZY CANADIANS - Fellow malt maniac Davin de Kergommeaux, from Ottawa, reports: " It is known here that you can buy a recently emptied whisky barrel to use as a rain barrel or whatever, but if you add a bit of water, seal it up and then roll it around you can extract a lot of whisky from the wood and make a type of home-made hooch called "Swish". I know the barrels at the garden centres often smell very much like whisky and they are often very charred inside which would provide a lot more places for the whisky to soak into the wood (...) But I have never actually done this myself, so maybe it's just an urban legend... " Well, according to Mile High Distilling from Colorado, Swish does exist as they are selling various 'essences' that will help you convert your 'swish' into either Bourbon, or into a famous 'red label' whisky, or even, yes, into a more 'classic Canadian whiskey'. MUSIC – Recommended listening: French and German DJ's Miss Kittin (photo) and Sven Väth do Serge Gainsbourg's scandalous Je vais et je viens.mp3 ... Thirty five years later, the technique seams to be as popular as ever! Please buy their music if you're into that kind of stuff... or fly to Ibiza this summer!
